About Honor Diaries

Women's Voices Now is proud to be a partner in raising money for Honor Diaries.

HONOR DIARIES is an award-winning documentary featuring the exclusive conversations of nine courageous women's rights advocates fighting against gender inequality in male-dominated, honor-based societies

These women are profiled for their efforts to affect change, both in their communities and beyond.

The film gives a platform to exclusively female voices and seeks to expose the paralyzing political correctness that prevents many from identifying, understanding and addressing this international human rights disaster.  Freedom of movement, the right to education, forced marriage, and female genital mutilation are some of the systematic abuses explored in depth.

Spurred by the Arab Spring, women who were once silent are starting to speak out about gender inequality and are bringing visibility to a long history of oppression. This project draws together leading women’s rights activists and provides a platform where their voices can be heard and serves as inspiration to motivate others to speak out.


Get Involved!

Honor Diaries isn't just a film it’s a movement! In Honor Diaries, real women speak out about their experiences at the mercy of an oppressive society where religion and culture are cited as an excuse for horrendous abuse.

We did not intend on creating a film to shock the Western world, but to bring a global awareness of the culture of violence and cruelty in honor based societies.

Screenings of Honor Diaries are not limited to Western countries.

Now we need to take the conversation started in the film around the world.


How You Can Help

It is our goal to have hundreds of screenings across North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia.

We have already been approached by local groups to screen Honor Diaries in countries from Egypt to Pakistan. 

Yet many of these groups cannot cover the costs of translating the film and organizing a screening.

That's where you come in.  We need $10,000 to start our journey.

You can help us get Honor Diaries translated into local dialects and screened across the world.

Exceeding our goal will help us continue the fight for awareness
